Casting has been done for “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” The upcoming musical, which runs Nov. 17-19, revolves around Millie Dillmount, a young flapper from Kansas that ventures to New York in hopes of starting a new life and marrying a wealthy businessman.

Although she starts to fall in love with a penniless salesman named Jimmy, Millie still strives to marry rich company-man, Trevor Grayden. However, Grayden finds himself in love with Millie’s orphaned roommate, Dorothy.

While the four lovebirds are busy sorting through this complicated situation, the devious landlady, Mrs. Meers is plotting to sell Dorothy into white slavery.
